Does anyone have BCBS of Tx that was approve for the surgery. How long did it take to get your approval? My paperwork was submitted by my doctor office and I was told that it can take anywhere from one week to 30 days.

I just found out that there's two parts of getting approve for surgery which I didn't know. So I was approve for the first part the surgeon office have to send in some papers so that I can get approve for the second part and set a date for surgery. I am so excited I can cry lol

You can always call your insurace company and find out if your approved. Just call the 800 number on the card.

Yes call the 800 number and tell them you want an update on the status if your case. I know it's been 1.5 week and I was call every other day. I just want to get this going. I know that I reach far and am not giving up. I want to set my date for July. I want to know how it feels to be able to tie my shoes and not be out of breath lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
